Can't open PDF files in Outlook 2003

Hi,

Trying to figure out why I can't open PDF files from an Outlook 2003
message. Here's the snippet from the PC's registry. Missing anything?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000003
"UseCRLChasing"=dword:00000001
"Level1Remove"=".pdf"

[Other stuff removed.]

Thanks

Are you able to save them to disk and open them from there? That
"Level1Remove" key is set to force the user to save .PDF files before opening
them...

I used to have similar problem, and sometimes the pdf file cannot open because it is damaged. And sometimes I need to repair the file, I usually use a utility called Advanced PDF Repair to repair my PDF file. It works rather well. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/

Just post to hope this will be useful.
